my wife is a consul

Chapter 370 The New Troika

The provincial capital of Jiangning.

It is extremely rare for Governor Chakson to convene a provincial military and political meeting.

In the previous military system of the empire, except for the Royal Guards near the imperial capital, most of the places were autonomous militias, and there were very few professional soldiers. The most important thing is the recruitment system of each province. Basically, each city has a standing garrison regiment, and the highest officer is the governor of each province.

There is also a frontier division, stationed near the provincial capital, whose division commander is customarily the military adviser to the governor.

However, although the governor is the highest military and political officer in a province, any changes to the military system, even the expansion of a small garrison regiment, must be approved by the military department of the imperial capital.

Moreover, the military strength of the original five provinces in the south of the Yangtze River is completely different from that in the northern region.

A province is usually a division and a dozen garrison regiments stationed in various cities. In terms of military strength, it may not be as powerful as the brigade commander in the four northern provinces.

But today the situation is completely different.

The main content of this military and political meeting has been leaked out. I don't know if someone released it on purpose.

It was Governor Chakson who made a report to the Imperial Army and upgraded the Black Mountain Brigade to the Imperial Infantry Division.

For the military units in various places who are still willing to ask the military department for instructions, the military department of the imperial capital has almost responded to their requests.

Jiangning Province has been given the designation of an additional infantry division, the 325th Division of the Imperial Frontier Army.

In the Griffinian language, the pronunciation of 320 is a bit similar to that of a griffin. The 325th division can be regarded as inheriting the designation of the griffin army in the dynasty era that has been abandoned.

And Governor Chuckson plans to assign the garrison regiments in two cities adjacent to Montenegro to the Black Mountain Brigade to form the 325th Division.

At the same time, administratively, the two cities are also placed under the management of the Montenegro Administration.

Montenegro was originally a vast territory. In this case, the area under the administration of the Montenegro Administrative Office occupied a quarter of the territory of Jiangning Province.

……

There are only five people in the meeting room except for the secretarial staff.

Governor Chuckson, and the three chiefs, namely Chief Secretary Wang Qiande, Financial Secretary Hu Dingjin, and Deputy Secretary of Justice Du Fansheng.

After the news of the war in the south came, Wilson, the Secretary of Justice, abandoned his post and returned to his hometown.

It was a real abandonment, and he ran away without saying hello.

He is from Sophia, and now he has returned to the Kingdom of Sophia, which supports the second prince as king.

Du Fansheng, deputy director, temporarily presides over the work of the Department of Justice.

Besides the Governor and the Chief of the Third Department, Lu Ming was the fifth person to attend this secret meeting.

It seemed that Lu Ming was already one of the most powerful figures in Jiang Ning.

In fact, Lu Ming was going to Chengjiaji, and went in person as the so-called Shuai Lu.

But now that something that has been planned for a long time has taken shape, I can only suppress the anger in my heart and come to the provincial capital of Jiangning first.

Governor Chuckson was still unresponsive.

Chief Secretary Tan Yaji briefed several officials on what will be announced at the military and political meeting tomorrow.

Similar to the rumors from the outside world, the Black Mountain Brigade was upgraded to the 325th Division, and the garrison regiments near the two cities were incorporated into the 325th Division.

In Montenegro and the two related cities, military control was abolished, and a special battalion for the governor was set up. Lu Ming served as the deputy commissioner of the governor of the battalion and the commander of the 325th Division.

Hearing the news announced by Tan Yaji, Hu Dingjin's face was particularly ugly.

In fact, most of the upper echelons of Jiangning have recently felt that Governor Chakson's dementia may be just an appearance.

Especially after the civil strife in the imperial capital, the old governor seemed to know better than anyone else that he might have already stood in the same camp as Lu Ming, whom he uses heavily now.

Sending his eldest grandson and grandson-in-law to Lu Ming's army for training can give him even more clues.

Hu Dingjin is more informed than anyone else, but at this moment, the anger in his stomach still cannot be contained.

Tan Yaji just said a paragraph, he snorted coldly, "I think it's inappropriate!"

Governor Chakson stared blankly in one direction, as if he didn't hear what he said at all.

He continued: "Lu Qianxing, oh, it's also called Lu Ming, isn't it? Too young, Your Excellency Governor, the infantry division designation we finally won is also the guarantee of our peace and stability in Jiangning. I think it must be done by a mature and steady Commander Shuai Cai, if we say that Jiangning does not have such talents, we can recruit them from outside, otherwise, if the soldiers in the whole province are not convinced and the morale of the army is unstable, our Jiangning may not be able to split!"

Du Fansheng immediately agreed, "I think what Director Hu said is very reasonable. Of course, General Lu is a very outstanding talent. He has been trained as a deputy, and he will be the top one in the future!"

It has been rumored recently that Du Fansheng may be righted, and the post of Secretary of Justice has been vacant for several months. He is the most popular candidate.

He and Hu Dingjin are very close now.

Listening to the words of the two, Chief Secretary Wang Qiande was expressionless, just drinking tea with his head down.

"Qianxing is good to me..." Governor Chakson murmured blankly, "Whoever rebelled, let Qianxing go and destroy..."

Lu Ming was taken aback. The current reaction and words of Governor Chakson may really be sick. Are they all telling the truth in his heart?

His own feeling, his dementia is sometimes sober and sometimes confused, so he is very clear about how those high-ranking officials who can report to him face to face behave, and when he first met him, Hu Dingshan was present, how did Hu Dingjin treat him? He could see what happened to him at the time.

I didn't have a trace of indifference and rudeness just because he became demented.

It should be the first time I met him, and I left a good impression on him.

As for the current communication between Christine and Mrs. Windsor and him, it is another matter.

Hu Dingjin listened to Governor Chakson's words, stayed for a while, gritted his teeth and said: "Your Excellency Governor, you shouldn't mix your personal feelings into official business!"

Governor Chakson's eyes were clear at this time, he looked at Hu Dingjin, frowned and said: "If I don't mix personal feelings, can you still sit here now?"

Hu Dingjin froze for a moment, a little embarrassed, and wanted to say something, but finally shook his head, leaned back, and stopped talking.

Lu Ming smiled and said, "Your Excellency, the Chief Justice of this province has been vacant for a long time. The candidate I recommended to you last time is the chief judge of the Montenegro Court, Sharif?"

Governor Chakson's eyes had become empty, he turned his head to look away, and shut the door to Lu Ming.

While Du Fansheng was gloating and laughing, Tan Yaji, the chief secretary standing beside Governor Chaxon, smiled at Lu Ming: "General Lu, the Governor and Judge Sharif have met, and he thinks Judge Sharif is worthy of a great position. Tomorrow's meeting will formally announce the appointment."

What?Du Fansheng couldn't believe his ears, his face immediately changed color.

He turned his head to look at Hu Dingjin. Hu Dingjin didn't know what to think and didn't respond at all.

"I also know Judge Sharif. He is a highly respected legal expert." Wang Qiande said with a smile beside him.

Apparently the situation is completely clear, he originally recommended candidates, but now he can only acquiesce in the result of failure.

After tomorrow's military and political meeting, Jiangning Province will naturally form a new power structure, which is no longer the era when the Hu family covered the sky with one hand.

Tan Yaji looked at the people present, especially Lu Ming, who seemed to be one of the most powerful figures in the province at such a young age.

It represents the local real power faction and the most powerful branch of the military in the province.

Director Wang is in charge of the province's government affairs; Director Hu is the God of Wealth in this province.

These three, I am afraid that the future open and secret fights will be indispensable.

　Thanks to my classmates for their various supports recently. The background of joining the army is in the eyes, but the update problem, so try to speak as little as possible and be a quiet ostrich. I am grateful to everyone, everything is in words!
